“This is the crown jewel, the most valuable piece of art for this generation,” Sundaresan said of the piece.
An Indian-born blockchain entrepreneur has revealed himself as the mystery buyer who paid a record $69.3 million for a digital artwork last week, describing his purchase as a shot fired for racial equality.
Programmer Vignesh Sundaresan (inset), who is based in Singapore, said in a blog post Thursday that he had purchased the most expensive digital artwork ever sold to “show Indians and people of color that they too could be patrons” of the arts.
